Instant replay results should over ride a blown whistle. The final result should be based on instant replay resulting in what really happened. Refs blowing the whistle early because they think they are right is affecting the game. Remember steeler/dolphins game(Br fumbles, dolphin players has ball in his hands. Refs say its steeler recovery) Instant replay is there for a reason. Viewing all angles in slow time has been good for the game. Refs blew that call, J jones touchdown several weeks ago, and Reeds fumble recovery.

I'm glad to see Hochili involved, but wary of Carey's involvement. Hopefully a bad call or two won't tilt the game towards the Colts. Need a blowout win to silence Carey.

I told you so! :laugh:

Penalty: For illegal touching of a scrimmage kick: Loss of five yards. If the illegal touching is inside the receiver’s five-yard line, in addition to the other specified options, the receiving team may elect to take a touchback.

Thanks. I could have sworn there was a stipulation for when the player was pushed out of bounds like Reed was.

Actually, if a player is pushed out of bounds and doesn't try to get back in bounds ASAP it's a penalty whether they touch the ball or not! It's also a penalty if they go out on their own and then come back in.
